[aprssig] New n-N settings for ui-digi

[Robert Bruninga]

For clarification, The following appears to be taking the 
"cut-off" solution. which was an early-on proposal to turn off 
WIDEn-N and force all WIDEx-x Paths to ONE hop in
very overloaded areas.  But as the New n-N Paradigm further
evovled, the "cut-off" solution (in my opinion) was no longer
needed in most places and is rather limiting...  Or maybe
I missread this?  Bob

Hi Bruce,

I looked through your settings.

Your beacon text string shows support for the "W" or WIDE alias but
your 
UIDigiCall setting does not support this. You might want to change one
of 
the settings so they match.

For the following inclined digi changes:

> UIDigiCall             = 
> RELAY,OHX,TN,WIDE1-1,WIDE2-1,WIDE2-2,WIDE3-1,WIDE3-2
> UITraceCall            =      OHX

You might want to remove WIDE1-1 as that is a given for support with
your 
UITraceCall setting of "WIDE". This will free up a slot for UIT.

The BeaconOffset does not work as documented for UIDIGI. This value
only 
adds the time to the BeaconInterval time that is specified. Thus, with

Beacon2Interval set to 2400 and Beacon2Offset set to 600 you simply get
what 
you would have if Beacon2Interval was set to 3000. The offset is not
applied 
from the starting point as implied in the documentation.
